We stayed here for two nights during our Tanzania safari, and it was absolutely perfect. The tents were very luxurious with hot water and 24-hour electricity. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and the service outstanding. Wildlife was all around us, with wildebeest and zebras close to the tents—an unforgettable experience.
Africa Safari Ngorongoro Ndutu
Perfectly situated within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, with convenient access to the Crater, and on the south side of Lake Ndutu, just outside Serengeti National Park. This is truly the best of both worlds!
Relax in Style in a Beautiful Environment Close to Lake Ndutu
Lake Ndutu is famous for the calving season of the Great Migration, an absolute highlight of the annual wildebeest migration. The short rains in November and December create nutrient-rich pastures for the wildebeest, which remain in the vicinity until the end of the long rains and most calves are born in January and February. While the open grassy plains offer them some safety, these young wildebeest also attract hungry predators, such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas. The area around Lake Ndutu is also famous for being home to 6 species of big cats (lion, cheetah, leopard, serval, African wild cat, and caracal) which are present year-round.
